Changing the World

Some of our fundholders at the DJCF have created funds to address issues in a specific area of interest. We are fortunate that our donors fill needs in our community and we are able to make annual grant distributions to worthy organizations and individuals. Whether you are seeking funding as an individual or on behalf of a nonprofit organization, we welcome your interest in these opportunities!

Our summer camp cycle is now closed.


DJCF is the largest Jewish provider of college scholarships in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The Scholarship Committee of the Foundation awards numerous college scholarships each year based on financial need, academic merit, involvement in extracurricular activities and community service. Some scholarships are university-specific, but most allow study at the college or university of the recipient’s choice. Students of all faiths are encouraged to apply.

The college scholarship cycle is now closed.

College Scholarships

New this year, we have three college scholarships that do not require either a FAFSA or TASFA. The FAFSA/TASFA-free scholarships are available to freshmen studying in Israel, graduate students at SMU-Dedman School of Law, and graduate students with a 3.8 GPA. However, if you wish to be eligible for any other awards, you must obtain and submit a student aid report or SAR.

Also, new this year, we have a scholarship just for students who are members of an indigenous tribe from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, or Louisiana.
